Perhaps some of you can recall the band Without Grief, who arose in late '90s together with some others in the same vein music wise from Sweden, like Ebony Tears, Taetre and Sacrilege. Since the band broke up and the scene arose so much that it finally collapsed (giving its place to bands of today such as Duskfall), some of those participants began roaming the metallic soundscapes with new vehicles. One of them, being the one presented here, 21 Lucifers. A band that may contain half of the former Without Grief line-up, though its influences and purpose are certainly rounding the title of this album. Mixing the usual short-legged, sharp riffs with a more brutal approach to the subject, courtesy of the American school, 21 Lucifers manage to get a shitload of tunes that are usually relentlessly aggressive; that doesn’t mean that these music geniuses are relied upon such an approach all the way. Therefore, you’ll be able to encounter some more melodic passages, some more modern phases of the Swedish sound plus deathcore patterns (yet the basis remains the same). The marriage of such idioms isn’t a farce in the extreme sound and these rapid shots (lasting approx. one and a half to two mins. each) in this album won’t probably change your mind if you think the opposite, as they’re just traces of the above left. The use of this release can be considered as a quick fix. Oh, "Die Dead Gone" is pretty close to the late Impaled Nazarene tunes...
